hi all was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or used one of these ptz cameras what are they like ect

hi thanks for reading this just a few questions . I was given some cameras cause they are faulty . theres a few dome and a few bullet . the domes have leds and same as bullets. the problem is they are faulty . he said they may be fixable .now when connect power and connect the bnc there is no picture . but if put your finger over the ir the leds turn on so there is power going to the cameras . could it possibly be dodgey bnc ends on the camera ? I have pulled a couple of the cameras apart unply and plug the connectors and still no video . any help or ideas would be excellent

thrres about 10 cameras that do it turn on have power leds work the circutboard gets warm but no video oh and 1 camera works perfect but the menu is stuck on I have swap a lead over from another dome camera and did nothing when puh the little control up and down nothing happens its just stuk on\ but lets focus on the other problem first getting power and no video

now how do a replace a bnc on camera end ? I thought there were the same as bnc leads get rg59 cable but they are not its a yellow wire and a black wire or do I need one of these in pic

yes I hook one up the camera board gets warm

I have a test monitor but no multimeter im buying one on the weekend as I work nights and sleep days

hi all I bought a few used cameras and in the box there a couple ip cameras all my cameras are analogue so I know I cant use it on my dvr I got told but am I able to hook up power to it and use the bnc plug and connect it to my tv just to see if works or cant do that ?

hi all just a quick question as I have said once before im new to the cctv scene slowly learning more. question about the ground loop isolator does it go from the back of dvr to the camera bnc lead or the lead from the camera then bnc lead ? or can you hook it up anyway ?

I don't need one I was asking how do you hook them up as it was a question I seen them but was curious as to if goes to camera end or dvr end or does it matter what end .

hi al I have a question for yous . all my dvr is under the house . I ran a hdmi lead under house and I dril a hole in floor where wall is and the hdmi lead plugs into the back of a wall plate . then a hdmi lead goes to tv . well the problem im having is when I turn the fan speed up or down its like the tv screen turns off and back on but the hdmi lead is nowhere near the fan switch . when its on dvd player it don't do it only when viewing the cameras on tv .

ok I had the sparky come back over I got him to put a new fan switch on the wall and try that did nothing . I bought one of the ferrite rings and did nothing . its weird only does it when view it on hdmi on tv in room cause as said above from the recorder to wall place have the hdmi and bnc leads running under house drill hole in floor and connect both into back of wall plate . if use the bnc to tv its fine tuen fan on does nothing . then connect hdmi from wall plate to tv turn fan on black screen for a sec then speed 2 black screen for a sec . I got him to do it to see if the computer monitor under house does it when the tv does it . and no it don't the only thing the computer monitor did when he did it was topleft corner got a lil fuzzy when he turn the fan speeds

its a ceiling fan and its a round switch . no dimmer no nothing just speed 1 2 3 off . and the wall plate is about 2m away from where the fan switch is

bump anyone ?

and beside the hdmi on wall plate I have bnc . I ran a bnc to tv and don't cut out when turn fan on or or only hdmi does . weird very weird

ok well I put on here a couple months ago I drop my camera like 1 foot from the ground it slip out of my hand when picking it up and it smash the glass in the centre piece where the lens is . here is a update well I rang heaps of shops none of them has 1.1mm round glass or able to cut it 28mm round plus prob a waste of time for them . I ran out of ideas and thought hmm whats the time and it hit me the glass from a watch face. so I look them up on ebay found 1 place in uk im in Australia and they had 1.1mm by 28mm round glass . I hit buy it now they sent it to me 3 weeks later was 48mm lol so email them back they send me another one 28mm what do you know it fit perfect . I clean all inside got all broken glass out wipe it out bought the right glue that you mix was for plastic and glass I used a broken tooth pick ran glue all around the inside of plastic pushed the glass in wipe off all wet glue from the front and looks perfect let it dry no leaks I fill the inside og face with water and yeh no leaks which is good cause cameras out side . so yeh heres some pics

the only time I used my brain to lol

well it cost me $130 aus for the camera and I don't have any cameras in my house all outside and cost me $3 so yes was worth it esp when im workn 2 jobs paying a house off alone so $3 saved me wasting a $130camera lol

well I got myself a new dvr as I had bought a avtech kpd678 -ES but my mate couldn't remember the password and couldn't reboot it no one new how so I got a new ge dvr30 8ch ive upgraded a few of my dome cameras to better quality ones and few of my bullet cameras . all 700tvl ect so are these dvrs anygood any problems ect its only formy house I have a cheapish dvr atm but the pic quality is not the best not very clear at all so hopefully this will be better .

ok I went and bought a hdmi cable I plug it in the back of the dvr where says digi out I connect it tv and says does not support . so I unplugged it try it again does not support so I guess its not a hdmi . do I bought a vga to hdmi converter its a proper one goes by power and holy moly massive difference . still keen to know what digi out means

so its deff hdmi ? cause I look it up and it only says vga video out . but on the back of the dvr says digi out and looks like a hdmi port

please delete this thread
